I just had a thought about all this. IMer that sell IM products... it's really a self policing thing. If they are good marketers, they will make a lot of money (because they marketed well), and they deserve money (because they are selling something they actually know something about).

If they are poor marketers, they will not make much money (because they market poorly), and don't deserve the money (because they are selling info on something they know nothing about).

I guess that doesn't help if you are one of the 5 people they managed to sell though. Also, there are so many of them, that combined they do a lot of sales, hence a lot of people get fleeced... at least it makes me feel better that they will only do well if they deserve it basically.
